Chasing The Money


Once again WSF goes adrift on a political rant without being able to prove his points. Has that ever stopped him? You have been warned.

How many (P)regressives are now perusing the 2020 Democrat Presidential nomination? Maybe easier to list those who aren’t. The Centennial State alone has two, former Governor Wishywashy and senior Senator Mumbles.

What is the attraction? WSF says it is the money. There is so much dark money floating around from deliberately obscure PACs one can become rich just by being a candidate.

Begs the question. Do you trust a billionaire who becomes a politician, or a politician who becomes a multi-millionaire? (not original by me)

Saw a suggestion on Facebook regarding the open borders question. The author first listed the estimated annual earnings of human traffickers and drug cartels. Billions of bucks. Then he suggested Pelosi and Chucky, et al, are being bribed to keep the borders open.

Heresy! To suggest the cartels have both the wherewithal and the expertise to hide bribes to those who will benefit without exposing the bribe takers to risk is just silly, don’t you agree?

Consider the angst of the dark money purveyors. Who do you put your money on? Doubt even Las Vegas bookies have much stomach for those bets. 

Brings to mind the line by Roy L. Fuchs (Jack Warden) in Used Cars, the movie. “I remember a time in this country when if you bought a politician, he stayed bought”.

So, WSF, you think these clowns see increasing their personal fortunes by being a candidate is a good play? Bet your ass I do.

I don't disagree with anything you said.

It's not the ObamaNation anymore, but back when it was, you needed $500K (better in cash) for an honorarium if you wanted to speak to Barack in person and put your petition to him. It's legal, but that's not how President Trump does business. No wonder the Deep State is so concerned. What if that became the norm - no more pay to play? Why, they'd have to live on the $200K they received from the taxpayers - they'd starve!

Thank you.

Billionaire who became a politician replaced a Chi Town street hustler.

Agree 100%, WSF.

These "public servants" line their pockets at our expense.

Or use our money to buy their way into higher offices like our current governor.
